copy

   self error: 'You should not copy a class.'.

   "If you want to copy a class just to check the differences before a change, as done in the announcements, use #copyForAnnouncement.
   Copying a class should be done using #duplicateClassWithNewName:
   Any other copy operation should be used using the class builder and class installer.
   They guarantee that the state of the system is consistent."
